DENVER (AP) - Newspaper lawyers asking that a military hearing on the alleged suffocation death of an Iraqi general be held in open court say the Army has refused to let them see evidence on why the session should be closed.
Four soldiers based at Fort Carson are charged with murder and dereliction of duty in the death of Maj. Gen. Abed Mowhoush during an interrogation at Qaim, Iraq, on Nov. 26, 2003.

A hearing officer closed the preliminary proceeding in their case on Dec. 3 after Army lawyers said classified information could be revealed.

Lawyers for The Denver Post appealed the closure to the Army Court of Criminal Appeals in Washington, which stopped the hearing until it rules in the case.

Sounds like this fellow was "abused" to death trying to get him to to talk? Wonder if that is any different from being tortured to death?

1. Depends on the meaning of torture.

Damn these people.
